WAYNE – For the first time of three outings on the season for the Wayne High softball team, the Blue Devils will compete in a triangular contest.

From the Wayne Softball Complex, tonight will also mark the first of two home triangulars.

WHS (Class B) is set to entertain a pair of Class C opponents Highway 91 and Bishop Neumann starting at 4:30 p.m.

Wayne High is 5-3 following three losses this past weekend, a pair in extra innings to top Class A & B competition during the Lincoln Public Schools Invite. Bishop Neumann is 5-3 after going 2-1 during the GACC Invite while Highway 91 enters 4-3 recently being swept by Tekamah-Herman and Guardian Angels Central Catholic in a softball triangular on August 29.

Last year in Wahoo, Wayne topped Bishop Neumann 2-0 and Highway 91, 15-0. WHS also topped the Cavaliers 10-3 during the Mercy Invite and twice in the Class C state tournament of 2-1 in the second round and 3-2 in the championship game.

Later this week, the Blue Devil softball team will also host a Class A team of South Sioux City on Thursday, September 5. The JV game will open the night at 5 p.m. with varsity to follow at 6:30 p.m.
